KDI’s Citizens Engagement and Participation Program strengthens Nigeria’s electoral democracy through a transformative five-pillar approach. Rooted in a decade of expertise, we. collaborate with election management bodies, civil society, and communities to dismantle barriers to participation and cultivate trust in democratic processes. Our initiatives prioritize voter education through grassroots engagements and digital campaigns, inclusivity for women, youth, and persons with disabilities, and technologydriven solutions like voter information apps (Naijaelections) and platforms to bridge access gaps. We champion transparency by training citizen observers and advocating for accountability,while fostering sustainable partnerships with local leaders, influencers, and institutions to embed civic engagement into Nigeria’s cultural fabric. By equipping citizens with knowledge, tools, and platforms, KDI ensures every voice shapes governance, paving the way for peaceful, credible elections and a democracy that truly reflects the will of the people.
